Our kirby doesnt have very much suction. everything seems to be in working order, i used to sell kirbys, i have pulled the head apart, cleaned it all, there is nothing stopping the roller from working, it definately turns when the motor is on, but there is no suction and the bag doesnt fill up and i have also tried putting it on blow and it doesnt blow either what else could it be?

The Tech Drive problem SHOULD be able to be fixed easily and fairly cheaply by a vac shop or Kirby distributor. There is an adjustment that needs to be made, but it shouldn't require purchasing any parts.

Yes, as the answer to your question. About the suction, test it by placing your hand at the nozzle.

Kirby ultimste g series green light?

that means its working properly. If you have no suction then it is usually the belt and or the bag. so make sure your bag is not full , make sure everything is attatched properly and the green light is on.... The Kirby is the best vac out there and little suction should never be a issue for us.. I am a proud owner of the sentria..Love it..

No suction from my kirby sentria

I just took a stiff piece of coax cable, and took the bag off where it attaches to the main unit, and took the head off ( the part with the brush roll in it) AMD cleaned every thing really well, turning the spindle for the fan while " snaking" it and pulled out a baby sock! Ta-Da! Works like New.

Hi -- I have a Kirby Sentria and it is great except that I am getting no suction at all through the big silver power head. Suction through all the other attachments works well. I haev tried it with the...

You can take off the power head and look in that whole where the belt is and see if there is a paper towel or something in there clogging it up.

Also tug on the belt and make sure it is tight - because if it is loose it is broken and you need a new belt.

While you have the head off, put on your hose attachment and use it to **** out any debris stufk in there.

Manual please or help

Below is a link to GoodVac.com. They have a Kirby G6 Manual for $9.30. Although it is labeled for the G6, it is applicable to models G3 through the Sentria. ("G" = Generation)

http://www.goodvac.com/Kirby_Gsix_manual_p/k-sup-mnl-260099.htm


Also on this page is a weblink to their "Online Kirby Vacuum Manual". It will explain how to replace the roller brush belt.

Kirby Ultimate G Series Diamond Edition

Take a look at the help article here. If bristles are worn you may need to install the brush roll in a different position (details HERE) or purchase a new brush roll.

Good Luck

Kirby Ultimate won't clean carpet

when you install the hose connector it trips a switch that switches the vac motor into high speed because the vac path is longer using the hose. check the belt after you remove the front. make sure the direction of rotation is in the direction of belt travel stamped in the impeller. try adjusting the head height
